This is a list of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that use Pokémon with [[type]]s outside of their specialty.
==In the games==
The following list only considers battles where the Trainer is battling with their specialty in mind. For example, [[Cheren]] uses Pokémon of many types when battled as a [[Rival]], but restricts himself to only {{t|Normal}} types when being challenged as a [[Gym Leader]].

The idea of a "specialist" is somewhat vague, so this list leaves out some Trainers that have a preference or tendency to use a certain type, but do strictly adhere to it, such as [[Colress]]. If the Trainer is not a Gym Leader or [[Elite Four]] member, they must use two or more Pokémon that share a single type for at least two consecutive battles to be considered a specialist for the purposes of this list.

If the Trainer is able to [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] their Pokémon, it will count towards their specialty type.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Steelix}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are the most commonly used Pokémon that do not match the specialist's type.
* No specialist who is battleable in [[Generation VI]] uses Pokémon outside of their specialty.
* Drayton would not use any Pokémon outside of his specialty if his {{p|Sceptile}} could undergo [[Mega Evolution]].
